While that can be the ultimate goal, it’s not necessarily the best way to start out for most women. If that is what you want to do (after all my first “solo&#8221…

Feature photo: Shrimp and Zucchini Noodle Bowl-a’Bravo If you find yourself in Green Bay at lunch, you are in luck! Green Bay, Wisconsin is so much more than just the Packers.

Travel and shopping are like peanut butter and jelly to me…they just go together. There is a reason why I love Cedarburg so much-shopping! I make several trips to this cute town north of Milwaukee several times a year. My good friend Beverly lives in Cedarburg and since her and I both love to shop, many of those visits include a trip downtown to check out the many shops that line Cedarburg…

Maps are available at most gas stations in…

Opening in 2008, the Civil War Museum in Kenosha tells the story of the Civil War from the perspective of the upper midwest. This museum focuses on the stories not only of the soldiers who went to battle, but of all citizens and how the war effected their lives during and after the war. The museum is located down on the lakefront of Lake Michigan. One you have completed your tour of the Civil…

I am a 50-something Wife to a fabulous non-traveling Husband and Mom to an independent college age Daughter from small town Wisconsin.
At the age of 48 I took my dream trip to Paris on a tour, but as a solo traveler. It took being thousands of miles from home for me to discover myself.
Although Paris is my #1 destination, I love to explore my home state of Wisconsin and anywhere else my travels take me.
My mission is to inspire women to conquer their fears and follow their dreams through travel.
I also love to write about my book addiction and all the challenges and joys of midlife.
